LITTLER FLEAS

(smjames@my-dejanews.com, the redoubtable Inflatable Space Bunny,
issues an original breakthrough in social theory, _canada_.)

Economics emphatically eructates erudite idiot froth fomenting
injury and death over vast swaths of societies. Thus 1976 Nobel
Laureate Milton Friedman and his Boys from Chicago (Wharton
School of Economics) begat stagflation and "Whip Inflation Now!"
of the Ford and Carter administrations in the 1970s to 1980s.
With Reagan firmly in office thereafter the humbugs toted their
sheaves of differential equations to Chile wherein they clothed
another Emperor. August Pinochet partied to the max and was
subsequently found wandering the streets bare-assed.

Political science short of fictional Hari Seldon has never
enjoyed the merest jot of pedantic respectability routinely
afforded economics, the dismal science. The best it can do is
the supple arithmetic of ballot box stuffing, which was good
enough to win Lyndon Johnson his first Texas election but not so
good as to win the Vietnam War, even by fiat. Inflatable Space
Bunny ventures a conceptual breakthrough to afford poli. sci. a
rigorous analytical mathematical foundation, albeit with the
fluidity of Burnham Wood (which is a feature, not a bug).
Political science can now belly up for Federal grants to fund
studies to determine what studies are needed, and thereafter to
be funded.

Given a community A and an adjacent community C such that A is
affluent and populous and C is less affluent and populous. Given
nonreciprocated interest of C in the internal affairs of A, C
will require ego compensation by sporadic noisy and noisome
display of its locally perceived superiority over A. In this
case C is said to be the _canada_ of A, C = canada(A). As
examples, it is empirically established that

The _canada_ function can be applied externally and globally and
also internally and recursively, hence The Fractal Theory of
Canada alluded to in the preceding: For all C there exists C'
such that C' = canada(C)

Does the hierarchy bottom out at individuals? An individual is a
community of tissues, tissues of cells, cells of molecules, and
down the echelon progression eventually into the quantum froth of
evanescent vacuum zero point fluctuations.

As 2001 - A Space Odyssey's Dave Bowman would be wont to
exclaim, "My God! It's full of canadas!" Would that be canadas
everywhere you do look, canadas everywhere you can look
(stochastic), or canadas everywhere period (ergodic)? Ha ha!
You cannot fool me! It's canadas all the way down!

Nixon's political career from being Senator McCarthy's confidant
in the early 1950s, through Eisenhower, the John F. Kennedy
election debacle, the Presidency, and eventually Watergate is
thus nicely aggregated into a gestalten gegen-understanding: the
hohlraum of canada(Richard Milhouse Nixon). Like assessments
peel back the many political layers of Hubert Horatio Humphrey,
Harold Stassen, and Nelson Rockefeller. Jumping across the pond
we appreciate canada(English Empire), and why Italy persists -
quantum zero point oscillation about a null point, canada(Italy)
= Heisenberg Uncertainty (re the harmonic oscillator).

What will this powerful new engine of political cognition bring
forth? Its austere simplicity of application runs counter to the
hermeneutics of politics and its heretofore heuristic management.
An appropriate and dense jargon must evolve sufficient to shield
shibboleths against incursion. Jacques Derrida's deconstruction
repositioned literature, achieving utter incomprehensibility even
to its own cognoscenti. Thus it must be with _canada_. Black
Studies, Wymyn's Studies, and Brown/Hispanic/Latino/Chicano
Studies will all be wept aside to make room for the new man in
town. We have at last achieved a millennial milestone in our
understanding of ourselves:
